Dear Fellow Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the  Semi-Annual  Report for the  National  Portfolio of
Thornburg Intermediate Municipal Fund for the period ending March 31, 1997. This
was a period of sharply fluctuating interest rates. The bond bulls insist that a
tepid U.S. economy is on the brink of weakness.  The bond bears counter that our
current economic vigor will persist for the foreseeable future. If you were with
us for the entire period, you received dividends of 33.5 cents per share. If you
reinvested  your  dividends,  you received  33.8 cents per share.  Investors who
owned  C  Shares   received   dividends  of  30.9  and  31.2  cents  per  share,
respectively.  Investors who owned I shares received  dividends of 35.5 and 35.9
cents per share, respectively.

Your Thornburg  Intermediate  Municipal Fund portfolio  currently holds over 250
municipal obligations from 44 states and 2 U.S.  Territories.  Approximately 76%
of the bonds are rated A or better by one of the major rating  agencies.  As you
know,  we "ladder" the  maturities  of the bonds in your  portfolio so that some
bonds are  scheduled  to mature at par during each of the coming  years.  Today,
your fund's weighted  average  maturity is  approximately 7 years, and we always
keep it below 10 years.  Percentages  of the  portfolio  maturing  in the coming
years are summarized below:

         % of portfolio maturing within       Cumulative % maturing by end of

                    2 years = 10%                    year 2= 10%
             2 to 4 years =   10%                    year 4= 20%
               4 to 6 years = 14%                    year 6= 34%
               6 to 8 years = 26%                    year 8= 60%
              8 to 10 years = 20%                   year 10= 80%
             10 to 12 years = 13%                   year 12= 93%
            12 to 14 years =   5%                   year 14= 98%
            14 to 16 years =   1%                   year 16= 99%

Over the years,  our practice of laddering a diversified  portfolio of short and
intermediate  maturity  municipal bonds has allowed your fund to perform well in
varying interest rate environments.  For instance,  the A shares of Intermediate
Municipal Fund continued to receive "A" letter grades for one,  three,  and five
year performance  relative to other  intermediate  maturity municipal bond funds
through March 31, 1997.* These rankings, which were published in The Wall Street
Journal,  reflect total returns in the top 20% of all short term  municipal bond
funds for those periods.  Your fund has also earned Morningstar's coveted 5 star
overall rating.**

Strong forces are acting in opposite ways on U.S.  interest  rates at this time.
The  U.S.  economy  is  generally  firm  and the  economies  of many  developing
countries  are growing as well.  Americans  have been net sellers of  individual
municipal  and U.S.  government  bonds,  preferring  instead  to pour money into
stocks,  money  market  funds and,  recently,  emerging  market debt  funds.  By
themselves,  these  forces  should put upward  pressure on our  interest  rates.
However,  most other  developed  countries have sluggish  economies,  much lower
interest

*Source: The Wall Street Journal,  April 4, 1997.  Performance data are supplied
by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., and reflect performance for the 1, 3, and 5
year periods ending March 31, 1997. An "A" ranking reflects total returns in the
top 20% of all funds within the short term  municipal  objective,  as defined by
The Wall Street Journal.  The average  maturity and average quality of the funds
within the short municipal  objective may differ. At March 31, 1997, 75, 66, and
31  intermediate  municipal  funds  reported  1-year,  3-year,  and 5-year total
returns,  respectively.  Performance  calculations used to obtain these rankings
assume deduction of all expenses and reinvestment of all  distributions,  but do
not include  the effect of any sales  charge on total  return.  A portion of the
Fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

 rates than ours, and  currencies  that have been  depreciating  relative to the
U.S.  dollar.  As a result,  foreign  money has been pouring into the U.S.  bond
market,  lifting  bond  prices and  lowering  yields  from the levels that would
otherwise exist. In the last 2 years,  foreign  purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds
have accounted for more than 100% of the net issuance of Treasury bonds, up from
an average of approximately 20% between  1980-1994.  The graph below illustrates
this  trend,  which  may only now be  subsiding.  We have  positioned  your bond
portfolio  conservatively  so as to be able to react  quickly to change and take
advantage of any opportunities that arise.





















Many municipal  bonds issued between 1985 and 1990 have been paid off this year.
Money to pay off other bonds prior to maturity already has been raised.  You may
own municipal bonds or unit trusts which are being redeemed.  Your investment in
Thornburg  Intermediate  Municipal  Fund will not be redeemed until you sell it.
Please  remember  that  you can  easily  add to your  investment  each  month by
authorizing a simple, automatic transfer from your checking account.


Thank you for investing in Thornburg Intermediate Municipal Fund.

Sincerely,




Brian J. McMahon
Managing Director

Note 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (continued)

Thornburg Intermediate Municipal Fund

Note 1 - ORGANIZATION

Thornburg  Intermediate  Municipal  Fund (the "Fund"),  is a series of Thornburg
Investment Trust (the "Trust",  formerly known as Thornburg  Income Trust).  The
Trust is organized as a  Massachusetts  business  trust under a  Declaration  of
Trust dated June 3, 1987 and is registered as a diversified, open-end management
investment  company under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The
Trust is  currently  issuing  five  series of shares of  beneficial  interest in
addition to those of the Fund:  Thornburg Florida  Intermediate  Municipal Fund,
Thornburg New Mexico  Intermediate  Municipal Fund,  Thornburg Limited Term U.S.
Government  Fund,  Thornburg  Limited Term Income Fund and Thornburg Value Fund.
Each series is  considered to be a separate  entity for financial  reporting and
tax purposes.  The Fund's  investment  objective is to obtain as high a level of
current  income  exempt from  Federal  income  taxes as is  consistent  with the
preservation of capital.

The Fund currently offers three classes of shares of beneficial interest,  Class
A, Class C and Institutional  Class (Class I) shares.  The Fund no longer offers
Class B shares.  Each class of shares of a Fund  represents  an  interest in the
same portfolio of  investments  of the Fund,  except that (i) Class A shares are
sold subject to a front-end  sales  charge  collected at the time the shares are
purchased  and bear a service  fee,  (ii) Class B shares  were sold at net asset
value  without a sales  charge at the time of  purchase,  but were  subject to a
contingent  deferred sales charge upon  redemption,  and bore both a service fee
and a distribution fee, (iii) Class C shares are sold at net asset value without
a sales charge at the time of  purchase,  but are subject to a service fee and a
distribution  fee,  (iv)  Class I shares are sold at net asset  value  without a
sales  charge  at the time of  purchase,  and (v) the  respective  classes  have
different reinvestment  privileges.  Additionally,  each Fund may allocate among
its classes  certain  expenses,  to the extent  allowable  to specific  classes,
including  transfer agent fees,  government  registration fees, certain printing
and postage costs,  and  administrative  and legal  expenses.  Currently,  class
specific expenses of the Fund are limited to distribution  fees,  administrative
fees and certain transfer agent expenses.

Note 2 - SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant accounting policies of the
Fund are as follows:

Valuation of Investments:  In determining net asset value of the Fund, the Trust
utilizes  an  independent  pricing  service  approved  by  the  Trustees.   Debt
investment  securities  have a primary market over the counter and are valued on
the basis of valuations  furnished by the pricing  service.  The pricing service
values portfolio  securities at quoted bid prices or the yield  equivalents when
quotations are not readily  available.  Securities for which  quotations are not
readily  available are valued at fair value as determined by the pricing service
using  methods  which  include  consideration  of yields or prices of  municipal
obligations of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon,  maturity, and rating;
indications  as to  value  from  dealers  and  general  market  conditions.  The
valuation  procedures used by the pricing  service and the portfolio  valuations
received by the Fund are reviewed by the officers of the Trust under the general
supervision of the Trustees.  Short-term obligations having remaining maturities
of 60 days or less are  valued at  amortized  cost,  which  approximates  market
value.

Federal  Income  Taxes:  It is the  policy  of the  Trust  to  comply  with  the
provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to  "regulated  investment
companies"  and to distribute  all of its taxable (if any) and tax exempt income
to its shareholders.  Therefore no provision for Federal income tax is required.
Dividends paid by the Fund for the period ended March 31, 1997 represent  exempt
interest  dividends which are excludable by  shareholders  from gross income for
Federal income tax purposes.  When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The
Trust may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions.  To the extent
the  Trust  engages  in such  transactions,  it will  do so for the  purpose  of
acquiring portfolio securities consistent with its investment objectives and not
for the purpose of investment leverage or to speculate on interest rate changes.
At the time the Trust makes a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued
basis,  it will record the  transaction and reflect the value in determining its
net asset value.  When  effecting  such  transactions,  assets of the Fund of an
amount  sufficient to make payment for the portfolio  securities to be purchased
will be segregated on the Fund's records at the trade date. Securities purchased
on a  when-issued  or  delayed  delivery  basis do not earn  interest  until the
settlement date.

Dividends:  Net investment income of the Fund is declared daily as a dividend on
shares for which the Trust has received payment.  Dividends are paid monthly and
are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund at net asset value per share at
the close of business on the  dividend  payment  date,  or at the  shareholder's
option,  paid in cash.  Net  capital  gains,  to the extent  available,  will be
distributed annually.

General:  Securities  transactions  are  accounted  for on a trade  date  basis.
Interest  income is accrued as earned.  Premiums and original issue discounts on
securities  purchased are amortized over the life of the respective  securities.
Realized  gains  and  losses  from the sale of  securities  are  recorded  on an
identified  cost  basis.   Use  of  Estimates:   The  preparation  of  financial
statements,   in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts of assets and  liabilities  and the disclosure of contingent  assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
increases  and  decreases  in net assets from  operations  during the  reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

























Note 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, Thornburg Management Company, Inc.
(the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser and performs services for which
the fees are payable at the end of each month.  For the six months  ending March
31,  1997,  these fees were  payable at annual  rates  ranging from 1/2 of 1% to
11/40 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund,  also the Trust entered
into an Administrative Services Agreement with the Adviser,  whereby the Adviser
will perform certain administrative  services for the shareholders of each class
of the Fund's shares, and for which fees will be payable at an annual rate of up
to 1/8 of 1% of the  average  daily net  assets  attributable  to each  class of
shares.

In the event  normal  operating  expenses of the Fund,  exclusive  of  brokerage
commissions,  taxes,  interest,  and extraordinary  expenses,  exceed the limits
prescribed by any state in which the Fund's  shares are qualified for sale,  the
Adviser will  reimburse  the Fund for such  excess.  No such  reimbursement  was
required  as a result of this  limitation.  For the six months  ended  March 31,
1997, the Adviser  voluntarily  deferred certain operating expenses amounting to
$92,976.  These expenses may be repaid to the Advisor by the Fund,  however such
repayment  will  depend upon the overall  level of the Fund's  expenses  for the
entire year ending September 30, 1997.

The Trust has an underwriting  agreement with Thornburg  Securities  Corporation
(the  "Distributor"),  which acts as the Distributor of the Fund shares. For the
period ended March 31, 1997,  the  Distributor  earned  commissions  aggregating
$41,205 from the sale of Class A shares and collected  contingent deferred sales
charges aggregating $5,379 from redemptions of Class C shares of the Fund.

Pursuant to a Service Plan,  under Rule 12b-1 of the  Investment  Company Act of
1940,  the Trust may  reimburse to the Adviser an amount not to exceed .25 of 1%
per annum of the Fund's  average net assets for payments  made by the Adviser to
securities   dealers  and  other   financial   institutions  to  obtain  various
shareholder  related  services.  The  Adviser  may  pay  out  of its  own  funds
additional expenses for distribution of the Fund's shares.

The  Trust  has  also  adopted  a  Distribution  Plan  pursuant  to Rule  12b-1,
applicable  only to the Fund's Class C shares under which the Trust  compensates
the Distributor for services in promoting the sale of Class C shares of the Fund
at an annual rate of up to .75% of the average daily net assets  attributable to
Class C shares.  Total fees  incurred  by each class of shares of the Fund under
their respective  Service and Distribution  Plans for the six months ended March
31, 1997, are set forth in the statement of operations.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or directors 
of the Adviser and  Distributor.  The compensation of unaffiliated  directors 
of the Trust is borne by the Trust.
